Umbria Jazz 50th Anniversary

In 2023 the Umbria Jazz festival celebrated it's 50th anniversary. It was a memorable edition! With big names like Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Bob Dylan, Paolo Conte, Mika, Joe Bonamassa and many many more, the festival really outdid itself this year.

The location of the biggest jazz festival in Italy is Perugia, which has a lot to offer. From beautiful architecture (including a real fortress built in 1543), interesting museums to cosy winebars, great restaurants, trendy shops ... this city has it all. Oh well... maybe there is one thing missing. Wonder what? The sea. But I promise that's the only thing.

Perugia and Umbria have stolen my heart many years ago. If you haven't visited Umbria and the Umbria Jazz festival yet, you should definitely give it a try, I am sure you won't regret it!
